That means for everyone at Paulmann: we make the perfect lights for our customers and for every room. All our lamps and luminaires live up to that promise.

Paulmann Licht is a family-run company based in Springe, Germany. We also have offices, representatives and activities in around 40 countries worldwide.
Detlev Paulmann, Member of the Advisory Board, feels that good lighting is important for quality of life. He knows that there still is a lot of potential for bringing better light to people’s homes: "People depend on their eyes and therefore on light. Light doesn't just brighten our rooms and assists orientation – it also affects our mood and well-being. That is why we see our products as much more than just components of stylish interiors. Light is what we do! We improve the quality of living for our customers. It is our mission to improve the quality of life for our customers. That is the guiding principle behind every new product."

How did we start and what does the future hold? Detlev Paulmann: "The story of our company began with my father turning a simple light bulb lamp into a source of light with many decorative properties. Paulmann then went on to establish the cable system as a flexible solution for virtually any room. Our development of these light systems with high-end, halogen low-voltage light output is still ongoing to this day. And we also continue to work on our offerings for indoor and outdoor lighting: rail systems, rail systems, recessed luminaires, spotlights, wall and ceiling luminaires, and many other special luminaire types. We want to make sure that everyone has the light they want where they need it. New technologies like LED or Smart Light open up a whole new world of options for people, who love light like we do."
By the way: We are not the only ones, who think Paulmann is a very special company. The German association of family entrepreneurs "Die Familienunternehmer e. V." agrees with us on that assessment, and honoured us with the Entrepreneur Award 2011.
We employ a team of 400 all across Europe, of which 260 are employed at our headquarters in Springe/Völksen. All of them believe in our primary mission to create unique lighting ideas for everyone. This team makes Paulmann is a dynamic family business with a business culture based on teamwork.
This credo is reflected in our corporate values:
We, the global Paulmann team, are committed to openness, honesty and trust.
We care about the people around us and always treat them with courtesy and respect.
We work independently for the success of us all.
We will continue to improve our products and services, and learn from our mistakes.
